One person asked for it so here it is again!!  Let's go over the TCGC Westwood contest, preview the WGI "San Antonio" contest, DCI event/ticket breaking news, and highlight the Rouse Flapjack Charity Dinner going down next week!

How about some news and notes about TMEA All-State, Boston Crusaders Brass Clinic, DCI Rules Congress, and the beginning of Winterguard season???

DCI Winter Meetings are going down this weekend!  On the table are several rule proposals including one of the most controversial proposals in DCI history.  Let's go over how these proposals become rules and how french fries can help explain why instrumentation is about to expand in Drum Corps.

UIL will be introducing a State Military Marching Contest this coming Fall!  What's with this Open Class Contest??  I'll clarify what the different brands mean, who gets to go to State Military Contest, how to qualify, and what having two State Marching Band Champions will mean for both philosophies of marching band.

Happy Holidays!!  Allow me to regale with stories from infamous holiday gigs such as The Flu Performance at Pilgrim Presbyterian and music stands on the highway.  Ho.  Ho.  Ho.

The DCI Schedule has officially been released and the Texas tour looks VERY different for 2020!  Let's go over which corps are going where and why The Alamodome is not hosting the DCI San Antonio contest.

Please allow me to take a few minutes to simply say thank you to all the staff, directors, parents, and kiddos who have supported this little program!!
